For a small business, a good location is an integral part of setting up and running a successful business. But with modernization and high cost of living, getting a busy location with affordable rates can be a toll order. This is because such locations cost more in rent and other subsequent leasing costs.
However, with malls, an entrepreneur has an advantage of setting up a kiosk or taking up a stall at affordable costs. For small enterprises running on a budget, the advantages of a busy location include improved revenue and increased marketing exposure.
 If you are thinking of setting off your business on a profitable foot, you should continue setting camp in your favorite mall. Here is why.

1. Increased Foot Traffic

An important element of a business’ location is high human traffic. Areas with large foot traffic experience a significant boost in sales. The steady human traffic in malls offers businesses a ready-made customer base for your goods. You can grab the attention of customers by advertising pricing deals and putting out banners detailing your product range.

• No Long-Term Contracts

With a stall in a mall, there are no limiting long term lease agreements. This is a huge plus for someone who has just started implementing their business idea. Especially with the kiosk option, you do not need to worry about struggling to meet the end of your contract while your business is visibly struggling. Many malls provide month by month contracts to small businesses. This lease flexibility is good for your business.

Do you dream of signing out of the daily grind to run your own business? Or do you merely dream of your own business as a means to gain control of your time? If you’re here, you probably know you want to start a business but would like a little guidance. Perhaps you need something manageable and small to use as a jumping-off point. Maybe a business idea you can implement immediately or something that will spark your own creativity. In this article, we’ll cover some ideas for a small business start-up. 
Online coaching 
Coaching can be for a variety of different areas. Life coaching, relationship advice, and business mentorship are all just some forms of coaching. Coaching is great if you want to leverage on experience that you have in your life that you think can be helpful to someone else. Online coaching is easy to start because the investment and costs are low. You may not need even a separate space to begin coaching and can speak to your clients from the comfort of your room. All you really need is a laptop and an Internet connection. 
Freelance creative work 
The most popular freelance work is creative work. Graphic design and writing are a few popular choices for a freelancer. Platforms like Fiverr and Upwork have helped many freelancers get started and transform their freelancing into a thriving business. If you have the chops, there are lots of opportunities to get paid for them.

Everything we encounter has an energy. We feel it when we meet people, when we try a new restaurant, when we watch a new TV series or a film, or when we read a book. We’ve learned that buyers make purchase decisions 90% based on emotion, rather than logic. This is their emotion relating to the energy of something. For example, a salesperson who is desperate to make a sale can provide a ‘needy’ energy that sends the buyer running in the opposite direction, or a thought leader with a quiet confidence that draws people in.
Sheevaun Moran, often called a ‘spiritual warrior for business growth,’ sees energy as inextricably linked with our businesses. Her new book, Secret Energy Patterns of All Successful Businesses, covers exactly this. Moran and I connected so I could learn more about this fascinating idea of what makes businesses successful, and here’s what I learned.

Growth is not only a sign of an organization’s success in business; it’s also the key to its long-term survival. A company needs to grow to be competitive and stay relevant. If a CEO or business owner is not growing, s/he is giving away the lion’s market share to his/her competition. And the customers are likely to choose their services or products instead.
So, it’s no surprise that growth remains the top strategic priority for CEOs of medium and large-size companies in 2021.
However, new research based on 500 businesses has found that one in three enterprises don’t know how to grow. Growth is a top priority, but too many companies lack the knowledge they need to achieve it.
Every B2B organisation knows how difficult it is to build trust with prospects and turn them into paying customers. Here are some trends that could help business owners to grow at scale in 2021.
 
The Office will Continue Evolving
Though remote work opportunities were on the rise before Covid-19, the pandemic forced many businesses to embrace them if they planned to or not. When executives noticed that they could maintain high productivity and employee satisfaction, attitude towards remote work began to change.
These changes are likely to continue even throughout 2021, as uncertainty looms ahead. Even in the wake of a vaccine and the possibility of near eradication of the virus, many organizations realize that much of their office space is unnecessary.
